Biography
Nicholas Meyer, M.D. is a board certified orthopedic surgeon who specializes in upper extremity injuries and conditions. Dr. Meyer also specializes in Dupuytren's Disease, Wrist Fractures and Weight Loss. "My goal is simple: To help the patient regain their optimal quality of life by treating their condition with the simplest method possible. Sometimes this requires a simple splint, or therapy, but sometimes it requires surgery. My job is to provide a diagnosis and treatment options to the patient; their job is to decide which treatment option would best fit their particular situation. In that manner, we create a team approach to treating their condition: I cannot expect the patient to have a complete understanding of the condition and treatment options and the patient cannot expect me to have a complete understanding of their particular situation and desires. We work together to achieve a better understanding and an optimal treatment plan."

I had mis-read my appt. time on my calendar so my wife and I arrived at 12:45 thinking my appt was at 1:00 pm. At registration, the woman told me my appt was at 11:00 a,m. rather that 1:00 p.m. However she went back to talk with staff to see if Dr. Meyer could "squeeze" us in. She came back with the answer that they could but it might not be until 2 p.m. We decided to wait, staff was able to see us closer to 1:30 and we were done seeing Dr. Meyer by 2:15 with both my wife and I being examined, explained treatment options and eventually choosing to have joint injections. We really appreciated the entire staff working with us to be able to see and be treated byDr. Meyer since we had driven quite a way (85 miles) to see him when it was my error in the first place. We really appreciated what they all did for us. By the way, our sore joints are currently much better.
